What was found

DURING A 100-HOUR INSPECTION, THE OIL COOLER WAS FOUND SUPPORTED BY ONLY TWO BOLTS. THE OIL COOLER MOUNTING BAFFLE WAS COMPLETELY BROKEN AT TWO OF THE MOUNT HOLES AND THE OTHER TWO WERE SEVERELY CRACKED. THIS COULD CAUSE OIL COOLER TANK LEAKAGE AND POSSIBLE ENGINE FAIILURE. NEW BAFFLE INSTALLED.
